<br>
I am taking the liberty of summarizing the discussion. This summary may<br>
be somewhat biased to my preference of MapQuery, so please feel free to<br>
comment if you think the other options need more support.<br>
<br>
GeojQuery<br>
pros: it is already here, domain is claimed, name is published,<br>
announced at foss4g, no renaming hassle, etc<br>
cons: difficult to pronounce Geo-Jay-Query. The name pattern is more or<br>
less a copy of the name 'Geo-Ext'<br>
<br>
MapQuery<br>
pros: same pattern as GeojQuery but much easier to pronounce, the<br>
project is more about 'maps' than 'geo', the word 'query' is used in<br>
the same way as in jQuery, the project is about querying and presenting<br>
maps like jQuery is about querying and presenting DOM elements.<br>
cons: renaming hassle, some people find the word 'query' confusing, what<br>
is there to query? 'MapQuery' loses direct reference to jQuery.<br>
<br>
jQuery-spatial<br>
pros: many other spatially related projects use '-spatial' in the same<br>
name pattern. JQuery advises to name plugin files 'jquery.xxx' where xxx<br>
is the projectname. It is a pro when file name and project name match.<br>
cons: renaming hassle, pattern is same as 'jquery-ui' which might make<br>
people believe that jQuery-spatial has the same 'official' jQuery status<br>
as the -ui project. The word 'Spatial' does not map really well on<br>
visualizing maps.<br>
<br>
This overview brings me to:<br>
<br>
jQuery-map<br>
cons: this is already used for the jQuery.map() method.<br>
<br>
<br>
